Yes, day four of Meatcation. Today is the day of the elemental bacon. Bacon = bacon of the earth, scallops = bacon of the sea, and duck = bacon of the sky.
The day started with preparing the duck for smoking:
After it was cleaned, we started on a whole black drum fish for lunch, which we baked in a cast of kosher salt.
We also made plantains:
The fish is done!
Back to the duck…
The fish is gone.
It’s smoking time:
Andrew made dessert - a lemon almond tart.
As an aside, I also received my tauntaun sleeping bag! Woo!
It’s bacon + scallops time:
Elyse, Heather, and Steph joined us as we neared completion:
Woo! That was awesome. More pics in the flickr Meatcation set.
